Islamic State targets US convoy in northeast Syria

BEIRUT — An Islamic State suicide bomber targeted a joint convoy of U.S. and allied Kurdish forces in northern Syria on Monday, marking the second attack against U.S. troops in less than a week.

U.S. military Col. Sean Ryan said there were no casualties among the U.S.-led coalition members. He added: "We can confirm a combined U.S. and Syrian partner force convoy was involved" in the suicide bomb attack.

"We will continue to review the situation and provide updates as appropriate," he added.

Monday's attack came days after a suicide attack killed 16 people, including two U.S. service members and two American civilians, in the northern Syrian town of Manbij. It also came a month after U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to withdraw troops from the war-torn country, declaring that IS had been defeated.
